Alternatively, cook chicken on BBQ grill for 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked through. Set aside to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.


Ingredients

Jasmine Rice

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 3 cups water

Chilean Chicken

  • 650g chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons Chilean spices
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salad

  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ bag baby spinach
  • 1 apple
  • 1 Palermo capsicum
  • ½-1 sachet smoked chilli vinaigrette

To Serve

  • 100g pebre salsa

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ grill to high (if using). Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. While rice cooks, pat chicken dry and toss in a shallow bowl with Chilean spices and salt. Set aside for 5 minutes to marinate.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side, until cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing thickly.
  4. While chicken rests, dice tomatoes 1cm and thinly slice apple and capsicum.
  5. Toss tomatoes and apple with remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl and season to taste.
  6. To serve, place ¾ cup cooked jasmine rice into each bowl and top with Chilean chicken, pebre salsa and salad.
